From the first episode, it all comes together in a sharp, clever way, as a horror mashup that's pulling from dozens of sources and dropping them into a tween-friendly setting. Go to Full Review

Naynay R @NaynayRivers 3d Loved it! My favorite of the reboot seasons so far! It genuinely got me with some of the jump scares but it's a fun spook, not one that will keep you up at night. If you're looking for a cozy Halloween watch, I'd recommend this one! See more Abel L @KMHeartless Oct 9 While not as fitting as season 1, Curse of the Shadows is still a fun ride with likeable characters and the same spooky spirit that made its namesake memorable. More consistent than season 1, but sidelining the Midnight Society aspect is a little disappointing. See more BRENDEN J @Moviefan109 Apr 9 Are You Afraid of the Dark Curse of the Shadows was a fun second season. See more Taryn K 01/14/2025 Listen! No one come at me please, but I watched it when I was 13-14 and it was CREEPY. Like, why does he SUCK SOMEONE'S SOUL OUT?! No. I don't agree with PG. I'd say TV-14. Only because I know some people who don't monitor the things kids watch if it says PG they let it go. But I only speak from person reasons. I know it's meant to be creepy and I think they did a great job! But I don't, I don't think they should say ANYONE can watch it. If you love that type of stuff, go for it! I personally like it myself and wish I hadn't missed the last few episodes because of another show. But, it's intense at times and definitely scared me. (In a good way) and I just think they should have the rating a little bit higher. But overall, 10 out of 10 recommend if you want something creepy. See more Sam H 11/24/2024 After the strong start with season 1, season 2 was super disappointing. The main kid was extremely generic and a terrible actor compare to the rest of the cast. See more NASHVILLE I @Nshvlleindie 06/25/2024 A Masterpiece. 90's Nickelodeon nostaligia to the max! Curse of Shadows may not be for everyone as it's geared toward a younger crowd, but the characters carry a surprising amount of maturity while still being very entertaining. Young or older, the story is objectively scary enough to keep you hooked. The main ingredient though is perfect casting. Everyone from "Sard-O!" to the kids are cast so well; the ensemble chemistry is off the charts. You'll be rooting for everyone to the finish as the mystry of the season is woven perfectly with peaks at the right times. See more Read all reviews
